Because that's literally not their mission: https://ij.org/about-us/
"Our mission is to end widespread abuses of government power ..."
"IJ is the national civil liberties law firm that represents everyday people—free of charge—when the government violates their most important constitutional rights. ..."
The fact that they choose to deal with government abuse of power and not corporate abuse of power seems totally reasonable and unrelated to left or right or whatever. I would not call them right wing simply because they have chosen to focus - all successful non-profit civil liberties law firms do this. Anything else is insane/impossible.
I'm not sure why you are choosing to paint them with a left or right brush here, when it seems mainly complaining that their mission doesn't match what you seem to want.
Most of the civil rights orgs that spend time dealing with corporate abuse of power either ignore or don't take government abuse of power cases. I don't think that classifies them as "left wing" or "right wing" either. It's just pragmatic for what they can accomplish.
